Insurers and Insured.
THE SIXTH SECTION OF THE ACT PASSED AT THE RE-
CENT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
On March > last the Association OF Fire Under
writers OF the District asked the District Com
miSsOners what is their Interpretation of the sixth
section OF the act to regulate insurance in the Dis
trict. They asked also, as that section requires
that copy OF the application made by the in
sured shall attach to each policy If it was intended
TO apply to IRE insurance policies, which are gene
string insurance. Under advice from Mr.. Il. E.
Davis, assistant attorney for the District, to whom
the matter was referred, the Commissioners will
reply that, as the sixth section imposes no duty
upon them. 1t Is a matter purely between the in
surance companies and their patrons. The law
provides no penalty for violation Of that section
and the companies must determine for themselves
what would be the consequences of failure TO oD-
serve the requirements laid down, as we'll as what
those requirements mean.

Electrical Crematorium.

Electrical Crematorium.
A movement has been set on foot in
Italy towards erecting in one of the
principal towns an electrical crematorium.
In this edifce the corpses will be in
stantly consumed by means of an in
tense heat caused by electricity. Vari-
GUS European cremation societies are
reported to have dispatched representa-
tives to Italy to make inquiries as to the
feasibility of the scheme, which it is ex-
pected will, if successful, very soon re-
place the more elaborate methods now
generally adopted. Pa1tisans of crema-
ton are sanguine that the introduction
of electricity would instantly remove the
objections held by many European states
against the burning Of bodies. Dogs
we presume dead dogs-have already
been subjected to the process by its in
ventor with considerable degree of sue
cess. The bodies forthwith evaporated
into nothingness, and there was percepti-
BILE pone of that disagrseable odor Of
burning flesh, which inhabitants of
Woking are said, SO greatly to resent.

For Weak Women.


Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass:
'Aoout the first of September, 1881. my wife
was taken with uterine hemorrhage. The
best styptics the physician could prescribe
did not check it and she got more and more
enfeebled. She was troubled with Prolapsus
Uteri, Leucorrhea, numbness of the limbs,
sickness of the stomach and loss of appe-
tite. I purchased trial bottle of youc
Vegetable Compound. She said she could
discover a salutary effect from the first dose
Now she is comparatively free from the Poo
lapsus, Stomach's sickness, 90. The hem
orrhage is very much better and is less at
the regular periods. Her appetite is re-
3 ored, and her general health and strength
are much improved. We feel that wo have
been wonderfully benefited and our hearts
are drawn out in gratitude for the same and
in sympathy for other sufferers, for whose
sakes we allow our names to be used"
G. w. EATON, Thurston, N. Y.
The Compound is put up in Pill, Lozenge
and Liquid form. All sold by druggists. The
Pills and Lozenges sent by mail on receipt
of price.

Our First Real Minister.

Our First Real Minister.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
As our foreign minister, Rufus King,
combined the INGREDIENT and the states
man, be was too wise to bother himself
with theoretical differences between
France and England; what he desired
was to give the United States its first
great opportunity to do trade with
Europe while Europe should be en-
broiled in nearly twenty years of war
To that end he watched every point,
strengthened himself with every interest,
dismissed all vanity of publicity, and
yet his dispatches are the first thorough
~ diplomatic writings to be found in
our records. Other ministers did par
ticular acts very well, but Rufus King,
was the minister at all times and every
where.

A Study in Waists.

Exchange.
"You ought to make study of the
cadets waists if You ever come up here"
writes "Maud" from West Point. One
strapping fellow, nearly six feet high,
and broad in proportion, boosted to me
that he was only twenty -four inches in
the waist, and hoped to be only twenty
three by the time he was graduated. 1t
seems to be this way: For the four years
they are here, while their incessant drill
ing, riding, fencing and dancing develops
and straightens the figure amazingly they
pinch their waists in 80 when they are
graduated they could almost wear
Titania's belt. Idon't know whether it's
healthful or not-although they are the
finest physical specimens I ever saw in
my life; but it certainly improves the
figure and gives young officers that Pc
culiar grace and elegance which we must
acknowledge Distinguishes them.

Coeing Doves.

There has arrived in Atlanta perhaps
the youngest couple ever married. The
husband is only seventeen years old, and
his wife two years younger. They come
to Atlanta from San Francisco, and are
staying with friends in this city. He
seated that his name was Sandy Lock
wood, but his wife before she was mar
ried was named Jennie Rooster. They
have been married over three years.
When the nuptials were solemnized in
the Shetland Islands in May, 1883, he
was only fourteen years old. and she
was twelve. They were engaged for
two years before the knot was fastened.
When asked what induced them to take
so serious step at so early an age the
young benedict replied: "Well we were
left orphans without any relatives or
friends and we found ourselves on the
Shetland isles unknown and alone. For
tunately had been intrusted With the
keeping of package by my father and
managed to hold on to it through q
storm, for we were shipwrecked.
When wa were rescued I had
the package safe and sound in my pos
session. It contained $12, 900 in United
States currency. OF course being so
we'll provided with cash we did not lack
friends. Jennie and I fell into the
hands of an excellent old English cou-
pie, who provided for us, and they treat
ed us like their own children. We were
placed at school under minister of the
gospel from New York, who spared no
pains to train us. After two years we
resolved to get married. At first the
idea was hooted at by every member of
the family in which We we're staying,
but finally we got the consent of all
OF them and we were married.
Shortly after that we started for Eng.
land. We remained there until about
six months ago when we came to the
United States to look after property in
Connecticut, which was said to belong
to my wife. Sure enough we found in
Hartford there was property valued at
$50, 900 which my wife had inherited
and which would fall into her sole pos
session the year she reached her msjor-
ity. In the meantime the interest on
the property goes to her. About this
time the young wife rejoined her hus-
bond and the young couple walked
away as happy as cooling doves.
